If you are looking for a fun, new twist on your typical review game, you will want to give Blooket a try. This focuses on the free version of Blooket. There is the option to upgrade to a paid version which gives greater access to analytics of the student work. The free version is very useful for the classroom experience. You and your students will greatly enjoy it.
Sign up is easy. It is only required for the Teacher to have an account. Students are able to play with a simple link and login code. This makes it easier for them to join in the fun.
Once your account is created, you will be taken to your home (dashboard) screen. This is where you will be able to add question sets as your favorites if you would like to use premade sets or create your own.
Menus: Across the top of the page you will find:
Before you choose/create a Blooket and begin to host it, you will have a couple of setup options. You can decide if this will be for individual practice or a group activity.
You will then have the option to select the game you would like the students to experience. Most of the games allow you to play as a group. Some also give the opportunity to assign as a homework activity. Homework assignments can be posted anywhere you are able to give the link and code. (Seesaw, Google Classroom, etc.)
Once your options have been selected, the Blooket session opens with a join screen giving your students the Blooket code. They are able to enter their name (so that the teacher can track their progress) and select their avatar.
The students are able to engage in the activity for either a set amount of time (selected by the teacher) or until they complete the activity. Each activity provides different rewards and further opportunities to excite your students. They will love the pace and gaming review and you will love the engaged learning experience.
I would encourage you to add Blooket to your toolbox of learning engagement experiences.
